13.8 according to this test:

Hyundai Genesis coupe Reviews - Hyundai Genesis coupe Price, Photos, and Specs - Car and Driver

The 3482-pound 3.8 R-Spec two-door we tested needed 5.2 seconds to hit 60 mph, 0.3 fewer than before. The quarter-mile went by in 13.8 at 104 mph
So a half second slower.

Theres this guy, his Handle is Veetec on the 350 forums who ran an HR...stock at 13.1 @107mph.

EDIT: I realize the Porsches are not Front engine, but other factors are consistent :tup:
The Audi TT is either FF or AWD not FR

It's not the driver, it's the car.

i have no problem with the quickness of the car . I have a problem that this 3.7 engine uses gas like today's modern v8"s . You may as well have bought a v8

But you bought the car anyway knowing that right? You did know that before you bought it?

Yeah, I definitely agree - even with a 6MT...I can't get above 18-19 in city...

i honestly don't get how some people that aren't boosted get such low mpg's... i have a cbe, intakes, and tp's, plus a tune and i'm still averaging about 22mpg's. no, i don't drive like a grandma.

also, if you bought this car for the mpg's, you bought it for the wrong reason :p

City driving. I think my average MPH isn't even 20 so I'm around 18-20mpg.

I get 16 mpg's... It is what it is. At least gas is reasonable

My MPG averages moved up by 2 MPG in both city and highway after my breathing mods and UpRev tune.

Lol mine has gone down significantly since my mods.
